Description
Decadent cookies filled with gooey salted caramel and crunchy toppings that create a perfect balance of sweet and salty.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted caramel (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup crunchy toppings (crushed pretzels or toffee bits)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the salted caramel evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop out the dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle crushed pretzels or toffee bits on top of each dough ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers slightly underbaked.
- Allow to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for better texture and flavor. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
